Hondoq mentioned in Parliament

Published on The Times of Malta on Wednesday 31st October, 2007.

Earlier in the debate, the opposition spokesman for Gozo, Anton Refalo, said the present government had made some serious mistakes in Gozo. Thankfully a serious mistake at Ramla l-Hamra was avoided at the eleventh hour, and he hoped development would not be allowed at Hondoq ir-Rummien.

Dr Refalo said Gozo needed a development plan, and that could go hand-in-hand with a restructuring of the Ministry for Gozo.

Gozo, he said, needed to be represented on the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development. There should be a tourism authority for Gozo and the island should be represented on national boards. In order to exploit the opportunities and advantages of EU membership, the Gozo Regional Council which a Labour government would set up should also have a representative in Brussels.
